The experience I gained from watching the show with no
volume is that I had to rely on non-verbal communication and cues to gain
understanding of what the plot of the show is about. I had to pay attention to body movements,
gestures and facial expressions to gain an understanding of the show. This
process of observing non-verbal communication requires more time and all of
your attention must be given, to the show you are watching. I misunderstood
several scenes in the show and gathered my own thought of what was going on.
Later I realized my assumption of what was happening was incorrect.
Once I began to watch the show with the volume on I was
able to gain true insight of what the show was about. Verbal communication skills
are important to us as individuals in many aspects of our lives. We are able to
know what is being said and also understand the reasoning for the characters
actions. From verbal communication I was able to gather that the plot of the
show was that you should never judge a person for their pass because you never
know when secrets from your pass will come to hunt you and cause you to loss and
hurt the people you love. Listening plays an important role in communication as
well you are able understand, learn, analyze, evaluate, comfort and enjoy what
is being said.
I enjoyed this assignment it made me realize how important
verbal and non-verbal communication are to us as individuals and how we must
rely on them to function in life.
